Electrolytes and soothing herbs to help relieve nighttime leg cramps, minor muscle cramps from exercise and general muscle tension
Patient One MuscleCare™ supplies three key electrolytes for maintaining healthy muscle contractile function, along with soothing botanical extracts of Valerian root, White willow bark and Passion flower to ease occasional muscle tension. This formula provides effective support to help reduce painful nighttime or excercise-related leg muscle cramps, minor muscle cramps associated with athletic activity, and overall muscle tension.
Cramps can sometimes occur due to decreased amounts of important minerals. MuscleCare can help replace electrolytes lost through perspiration or as a result of diet insufficiency. Magnesium, calcium and potassium are, among other important roles, essential for supporting proper function of the muscles and nerves.
Passion flower is used as a calmative, anti-spasmodic and works by increasing levels of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA lowers the activity of some brain cells, resulting in relaxation.
White willow bark has been used for thousands of years to support the body in naturally relieving pain. The bark of white willow contains salicin, a chemical similar to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). It helps support eicosanoid and cytokine balance and is responsible for the pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects of MuscleCare.
Valerian root has a long history of use as a nerve sedative and muscle relaxant, helping to promote relaxation, decrease anxiety and tension, and enhance sleep. Along with passion flower, it acts to calm and relax the central nervous system.
